比特幣的關鍵通信工具被淘汰了幾個小時

從4月2日開始，比特幣用於討論潛在協議更改的關鍵通信工具被淘汰了幾個小時

One of Bitcoin's key communication tools used to discuss potential protocol changes was knocked out for several hours starting on April 2, with one moderator speculating it may have been a targeted attack assisted by bots.

從4月2日開始，比特幣用於討論潛在協議更改的關鍵通信工具之一被淘汰了幾個小時，其中一位主持人猜測它可能是機器人輔助的有針對性攻擊。

For several hours across April 2 and 3, Bitcoin core developers and researchers were unable to interact on Google Groups after Google banned the group for spam.

在4月2日至3日的幾個小時中，比特幣核心開發人員和研究人員無法在Google禁止該小組垃圾郵件的Google組上進行互動。

“Bitcoin Development Mailing List has been identified as containing spam, malware, or other malicious content,” Google’s warning stated at the time.

Google當時說：“比特幣開發郵件列表已確定為包含垃圾郵件，惡意軟件或其他惡意內容。”

Bitcoin Core developer Bryan Bishop told Cointelegraph that the ban may have been triggered by individuals or bots mass-reporting the Bitcoin mailing list from multiple accounts.

比特幣核心開發人員布萊恩·畢曉普（Bryan Bishop）告訴Cointelegraph，該禁令可能是由個人或機器人大規模報告從多個帳戶觸發的。

It’s a common tactic by attackers looking to ban or censor a community, Bishop said, noting that similar incidents occur on YouTube, X and TikTok fairly often.

Bishop說，這是希望禁止或審查社區的攻擊者的普遍策略，並指出經常在YouTube，X和Tiktok上發生類似的事件。

Google Workspace Support’s X account confirmed that the issue had been resolved on April 3 at 2:23 am UTC in response to one of the Bitcoin mailing list's other moderators, Ruben Somsen.

Google Workspace支持的X帳戶證實，該問題已於4月3日上午2:23解決了UTC，以響應比特幣郵件列表之一的其他主持人Ruben Somsen。

Bitcoin advocate and head of Block Inc, Jack Dorsey, also called attention to the ban, urging Google CEO Sundar Pichai to investigate the issue.

比特幣倡導者兼Block Inc負責人傑克·多爾西（Jack Dorsey）也稱注意這一禁令，敦促Google首席執行官Sundar Pichai調查該問題。

According to Bishop, the Bitcoin mailing list had been the target of abuse in the past but the reports leading to the ban on April 2 appeared to be coordinated.

據Bishop稱，比特幣郵寄清單過去一直是虐待的目標，但導致4月2日禁令的報告似乎是協調的。

"It seems like some people decided to en masse spam-report the group, which unfortunately is a known way to get a Google Group shut down," Bishop added.

Bishop補充說：“似乎有些人決定匯總垃圾郵件 - 不幸的是，這是使Google集團關閉的已知方法。”

Bishop said that the Bitcoin mailing list moderators have no intention of moving away from communicating via email.

主教說，比特幣郵件列表主持人無意通過電子郵件溝通。

The Bitcoin mailing list officially migrated to Google Groups in February 2024.

Before that, the mailing list was hosted by the Linux Foundation, Oregon State University Open Source Lab's infrastructure and SourceForge.net.

在此之前，郵件列表由俄勒岡州立大學開源實驗室的基礎架構和SourceForge.net主持。

"I think it's a shame that in 2024, a Bitcoin forum can be limited to one particular platform," Bishop said.

Bishop說：“我認為可恥的是，在2024年，比特幣論壇可以限於一個特定的平台。”

Bishop added that there shouldn't be a need for a "backup plan" for the Bitcoin mailing list. He pointed out that there are several other platforms where Bitcoin developments are discussed, including GitHub and the decentralized social network Nostr.

Bishop補充說，比特幣郵件列表不需要“備份計劃”。他指出，還有其他幾個平台討論了比特幣開發項目，包括GitHub和分散的社交網絡NOSTR。
